April 1- Saturday: We got to sleep in and snuggle. Alice came in our room early because of nightmares. We had french toast, then the kids set up their areas to watch General Conference. Ben played a little April Fool's prank on McKenna and her phone. We did the goodie bags this time! Dan took Ben to get a gift for Grant Enquist for his pool party birthday party. Anna and McKenna went for a run outside. Bethany and Alice played outside. I tried to figure out the big Easter Week poster and pictures for Dan to print. We had leftovers for lunch. Dan went to pick up Ben from the Rec Center. A new General Young Women’s presidency was called with Don’t Miss This’s Emily Bell Freeman as president! After the second session, I got dressed, and then we went to Dan’s parents’ house for nachos, donuts, and more General Conference! I took Bethany and Alice to Layton to my parents’ house so they could sleepover and they would babysit them early Sunday morning while the rest of us would attend the Conference Center in person.
April 2- Sunday: We woke up around 7:30 and left around 8:40 for the morning session of General Conference. I loved Music and the Spoken Word as always! I was really cold that whole session. Anna sat by Lola and Ben sat by Russell. Grandfather spoke about eliminating contention in our lives and being peacemakers! We got home around 12:30 and my parents brought the girls home. We had a muffin tin snack lunch. We watched the second session and babysat Charlie. 15 temples were announced! We talked with my parents after the session. I started on dinner as the kids cleaned up the family room. We had an Easter lesson then watched the first episode of Relative Race for the new season 11. Dan and I and the older two kids played scrabble.

I helped Alice with her music and gave her a bath. We all had lunch together. I kept the laundry going and then cleaned the master bathroom shower. I took McKenna and Bridget to Plato’s closet and then made an Amazon return. I came home and shoveled some and talked with Dan about work stuff. The 4 younger kids played outside in the snow for a bit with a couple neighbors. I picked up McKenna and Bridget and then took them to get frosted lemonade at Chick Fil A. I started dinner when we got home. We ate, did our Easter week lesson, then folded laundry and watched some of the NCAA basketball championship game. It kept snowing most of the day! After the girls were in bed, I went through papers and got the chair/table area in my room organized and Dan and I folded our laundry. We talked more about work stuff.
Apr. 4th- Tuesday: We slept in and had MORE SNOW! I ate with the kids, then I worked on mending and patching some clothes. I drove McKenna, Ben, Katie, and Truman to the temple for baptisms.

I got dressed, then took McKenna and Bethany to piano. I worked on sending some emails and napped a little. I drove Ben to Luke’s. I made picture collages with the rest of January pictures. Dan had to knock down the snow that was weighing down the gutters so much. The snow ended up making the gutters break and pull away from the house. We had dinner, then I played Candyland with Alice. We tossed and kicked around a ball downstairs with all the girls. Once they were ready for bed, we watched half of "Tangled." I also watched half of "Napoleon Dynamite" with McKenna and Ben.
